Background Considering the escalating challenges of climate change and antimicrobial-resistant diseases, prelicensure nursing education needs to focus on preparing nurses for future pandemics. Method In a cross-sectional quantitative study, 53 clinical educators assessed their confidence in nursing students' pandemic preparedness competencies. Results Confidence was highest for culturally competent care and personal safety, and lowest for emergency nursing interventions and triage principles. Preceptors exhibited higher overall confidence than clinical oversight instructors. Conclusion This study highlights the need to bolster nursing teaching strategies to prepare prelicensure nursing students more effectively for future pandemic response roles.
